If you look at the Billboard 200 and assume that it just shows what the best selling albums are, that's your problem. Streaming exists! I know ATRL likes to act like it's just some imaginary thing since they live in a pop culture vacuum, but it exists and it's way more popular than sales (and only becoming more and more popular). So why wouldn't it be included in a chart designed to show what the most popular albums of the week are? I know 24K Magic is bombing on Spotify, but that doesn't give you the right to discredit streaming.
And Ariana's pure sales aren't even that bad either.
I'm a bit but this is completely true. Wouldn't have said it better.

There's no way she's not in the top 10 best selling albums of 2016 with SPS. She's already #11 in the US, and I would assume she's doing even better WW. And even if she isn't top 10 now, she definitely will be by the end of the year.
But out of albums released in 2016, she is in the top 10. And out of all the albums above her, she released the most recently (I believe). Not to mention her album is above 800k WW
